Invest in Research Projects
Direct Project Funding & IP Rights
Direct capital allocation into high-impact, vetted R&D projects across our seven research disciplines — Life Sciences, Information Technology & AI, Physics & Engineering, Sustainability & Energy, Exploration, Facility Usage, and Creation Science.
IP Ownership Model
- Maximum 50% IP allocation to investors. Fund 100% of a project's target and you secure 50% of the resulting IP rights, licensing revenues and royalties.
- Pro-rata scaling. Partial funding scales your IP equity proportionally — funding 50% of the capital target grants 25% IP ownership.
- Fixed institutional retainers. Vertex Catalyst Group always retains 30% of the IP; the Lead Researcher / Research Group retains 20%.
IP & Patent Cost Allocation
- Initial project investment strictly funds research, lab operations, materials and execution.
- IP / patent / trademark prosecution and registration costs are separate and evaluated upon project completion.
- Upon consensus on the commercialization pathway, filing / registration costs are shared 70% by the Project Investor(s) and 30% by Vertex Catalyst Group.
